Nitkos Sour Cream And Chive Dill Fish Sauce Recipes

EASY SOUR CREAM AND ONION FISH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450°F. In a medium bowl, stir together 1½ cups sour cream and 2 tablespoons onion powder. Zest 1 lemon into the bowl. Snip ¾ of 1 small bunch of chives into the bowl with scissors (hold on to the rest). Stir to combine and season to taste with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together ½ cup panko breadcrumbs and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pat dry four 6 oz. fish fillets (cod, salmon, halibut, trout) that are max 1½ inches thick. Transfer to a parchment-lined sheet pan, season with salt and pepper, and cover the flesh with a thin layer of the sour cream mixture (reserve the rest). Press the panko mixture on top, then bake until the fish flakes easily and the panko is browned, 10 to 12 minutes per inch of thickness. (If your fish is cooked through before the panko's browned, broil for a minute or two.)
• Meanwhile, squeeze the juice from half the lemon (about 1½ tablespoons) into the remaining sour cream mixture. Slice 1 big head crisp lettuce (romaine, iceberg).
• Divide the lettuce between plates and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and the juice from the remaining lemon. Add the fish to the plates, then snip the remaining chives over. Eat with the sour cream and onion dip.

CREAMY CHIVE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a pan and soften the onion, garlic and chives with the pan covered for 5 minutes.
• Pour in the wine and reduce by half on a high heat.
• Add the stock and reduce by half again.
• Turn the heat right down and stir in the cream.
• Simmer gently until reduced to a light, creamy consistency.
• Season to taste and serve hot.

ROASTED STRIPED BASS WITH CHIVE AND SOUR CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Make sauce:
• Blend sour cream, water, juice, salt, and chives in a blender until mixture just turns pale green. Season with pepper.
• Prepare fish:
• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Remove any pin bones from fish with tweezers or needle-nose pliers and pat fish dry with paper towels. Score skin in several places with a thin sharp knife to prevent fish from curling (do not cut through flesh) and season fish with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then sear fish, skin sides down, in 2 batches until skin is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes (fish will not be fully cooked). Transfer, skin sides up, to an oiled shallow baking pan.
• Roast fish, uncovered, in middle of oven until just cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Spoon 3 tablespoons sauce onto each of 6 plates and top with potatoes and zucchini. Squeeze a lemon wedge over each fillet, then place fish, skin sides up, over vegetables. Top fish with sprouts.

STEEPED SALMON WITH CHIVE AND DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Fish: Place fish in a large shallow pan with a tight fitting cover.
• Add enough water to cover the fish by 1 1/2 inches, then remove the fish and set aside.
• To the water, add lemon, onion, thyme, salt and pepper, cover and bring to a full boil.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the fillets and cover pan tightly.
• Let fish steep 3 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets, then remove the salmon to a serving platter using a slotted spatula.
• Note: for thicker fillets you will need to add the salmon to the liquid and simmer until partially cooked before removing from the heat and covering.
• Sauce: Whisk together, mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, dill, salt and Tabasco.
• To assemble: Place cucumber slices around the edge of the serving platter over lapping as you go. Spoon sauce across the center of each fillet and top with a few drops of fresh lemon juice.
